Shelby Files
Senior Designer
Though her career has taken her down many paths, Shelby has always been driven by her passion. She discovered a love for teaching after 14 years in the dance world, leading her to study Early Childhood Development. Ultimately, though, her talent in interior design shone through.
Shelby fell in love with interior design from a young age thanks to her relatives in the remodeling industry. After a few years working as a freelance designer, she was hired by Lowe’s to head a kitchen and bath remodeling program before joining éLAN Creative in early 2019. Her design eye is inspired by her traveling spirit, and she loves picking up unique trinkets for her home on her travels—especially in New Orleans, her favorite destination.
Jennifer Combs
Studio & Procurement Manager
Although her background is in education and working with special needs children, Jennifer, who started working at éLAN Creative in 2016 as Julie’s design assistant and coordinator, is right at home in the design world. Adaptable, intuitive, and full of vision, Jennifer’s talents allow her to organize and oversee projects, observing and anticipating what needs to be done next – and then doing it! Incredibly organized and a skilled communicator, Jennifer is a cornerstone in everything éLAN Creative does.
A native to northwest Arkansas, Jennifer is a mother of four, grandmother of two, and a self-proclaimed coffee addict.
Sydnie R Myers
Styling & Event Coordinator
Growing up behind the scenes, Sydnie has worked on developing and refining her artistic eye for design since she was little. The daughter of éLAN Creative’s founder, today Sydnie’s skills guide the success of the company’s styling and event management services, gaining experience in non profit galas as well as private events. Naturally creative, Sydnie is passionate about social media and graphic design. She spends her spare time making and designing jewelry for her own business, Dreamy & Darling Creations.
